Long-Term Running Goals: I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation? Personal: Don't knock it until you try it. Favorite Blogs: |

Mile 1 5:39: Started slow and in 7th place the leader went through the half in 1:09:50 and 2nd and 3rd went through 1:12:50 1:13
Mile 2 5:28 running comfortably this course has a lot of ups and downs
Mile 3 5:39 feeling great and just going through the motions I just felt like it was a long run.
Mile 4 5:37 still just cruising along the curse a lot of turns
Mile 5 5:44 uphill and trying to find someone to work with
Mile 6 5:36 got directed wrong a cop working the streets was just talking to another cop while I was passing by I went about 1 block and half in and then he yelled at me telling me I was going the wrong way. So I ran 3 blocks extra in this section. I was pissed and told the cop, come on man, that’s why you are getting paid for.
Mile 7 5:36
Mile 8 5:33
Mile 9 5:38
Mile 10 5:43 uphill
Mile 11 5:38
Mile 12 5:40 uphill
Mile 13 5:36 downhill
Mile 14 5:50 uphill
Mile 15 6:03 uphill
Mile 16 5:46 uphill From Mile 10 through 16 was the toughest section and I think this is were it wore down my legs.
Mile 17 5:49 downhill putting breaks
Mile 18 5:38 flat passed 4th place
Mile 19 5:46 flat passed 3rd place mile
Mile 20 5:49 flat on my own in dead man’s land ….blister heaven
Mile 21 5:56 flat
Mile 22 5:57 flat
Mile 23 6:15 flat lost concentration
Mile 24 6:19 flat not focusing on task and these musha 2 are killing my feet
Mile 25 6:31 1 small hill
Mile 26 6:24 coming down the hill
- Note I did not hit the wall I just lost sight of what I was doing after I moved up to 2nd and it was just tough to move forward since there was no one else to work with.
Overall time 2:33:59 2nd place overall not a p.r. and definetly was not happy with the outcome. Gotta regroup and hit it hard for the Eugene Marathon in May.
Ran 20 good miles and then lost sight of what I was doing....no I didn't hit the wall...my blisters were hurting, there was no one to work with...and my legs were beat up from all the uphill running through the course...a) get some other shoes b) run in a bigger marathon c) run some harder tempos with more mileage....
*** Note *** It did not feel like I was running a marathon.... it felt more like a workout :/ ....bad workout.
Pics later....

| 5 @ 42:30 Post marathon run... the first mile a bit tight and sore, but all of that wore off after 10 mins and muscles were moving with slight soreness but nothing big as I have in other marathons... most probably will pick it up after 2 or 3 days of easy running! | | Comments(5) |
